Monday's report most definitely falls into that good news/bad news realm:

Good news: Abdominal obesity fell in children ages 2 to 5.

Bad news: A third of kids ages 6 to 18 are still considered "abdominally obese." Additionally, this is the kind of obesity that can lead to such health complications as Type 2 diabetes and heart disease.

They attribute the positive aspects to more healthy food choices being offered in school breakfasts and lunches, as well as removing soda and candy from schools. But, experts caution, parents, schools and others who provide meals for kids need to be on board in helping reduce obesity rates even further.
